I'd advise against removing the LED as they will fail you if it doesn't come on when the key is turned in the ignition, what I would do...is remove the terminal from the battery for around about 60 seconds should clear the engine check light unless it's a serious on going issue (worth a try as it's free) in the long term though if you just had the cat replaced there's a high chance that your lambda sensor might need replacing (pretty cheap and easy job)

The engine light on is not a fail in the nct.

1. If it's just brake retest they are not going to check anything else.
2. engine light is not a reason for fail.

So don't worry about retest.

But get it checked what's wrong with your engine, as warning light doesn't usually come on without a reason.

If you don't trust us there's the NCT manual on NCT website.
Go through it, and you will know that it's not a fail.

PS. It's got something about 200 pages
